Search & Security Checks

Anti Money Laundering (AML) Regulations were introduced in 2004 to help protect us all from Terrorism, Drug Smuggling, People Trafficking, Organised Crime and Criminal Gangs. In this ever changing world in which we live in, 11 years on the challenges have simply grown in all areas and the Government’s resolve has hardened.

SmartSearch has never been more relevant, AML Regulation is not going away and we have seen the major penalties for non-compliance levied on Banks and Financial Institutions increasing almost with every event.

In SmartSearch we have created a suite of security checks which delivers full AML verification functionality for Individuals and Businesses in both the UK and International Markets. Additional information enhances the Know Your Customer (KYC) and Customer Due Diligence (CDD) capabilities.

Processing an Individual Anti Money Laundering (AML) check is easy and convenient. You simply need to enter the Individual’s name, address and date of birth (optional but recommended); press return and SmartSearch will do the rest. In just 3 seconds you will have a completed AML check that will give you a clear PASS or REFER result, this includes automatic worldwide Sanction & PEP screening.

Processing a Business AML check is straight forward, all the information you need is available in this “one-stop-shop” platform and the whole process is completed without the need for client documents in under three minutes.

Delivering AML International searches is challenging as most datasets are not available or they don’t exist. Infrastructure difficulties and a host of language and cultural differences canfurther complicate the picture.

Many of our clients choose to download additional Companies House information to enhance their KYC understanding of a new client’s business. This additional information will also provide them with a deeper understanding of the financial risk associated with new clients.

Internet sales have risen exponentially in recent years where now billions of pounds are spent and traded over the Internet every year providing in some cases easy and rich pickings for professional fraudsters. We have a range of fraud prevention solutions that can be tailored to your specific requirements.
